How you use Kane’s as part of your active recovery – Kane Footwear has been HUGE in my recovery leading up to the Run Across Texas. During my training I have been averaging running 140+ miles per week. If I am not running, I am wearing my Kanes. They help keep my legs fresh between my double sessions. I have no knee pain, no foot pain, and minimal aches from all the miles.
